Vintage diagram of a two pole D.C. generator showing the magnetic field produced by the cross magnetizing ampere turns and its effect upon the distribution of the main field. A DC generator operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction i.e. when the magnetic flux linking a conductor changes, an EMF is induced in the conductor. A DC generator has a field winding and an armature winding.
